Kodak Moments!

Pictures to me say a Thousand words! The reason why I love taking pictures is remembering the Memories behind them! Here are some Moments that I remember so Fondly!
My Absolute Favorite picture of Kaylie and Ashlyn

Priceless..Daddy and Daughter moment!

Ashlyn Loved Ice Cream

Kaylie's first dance performance and Sis by her side!

Little Ashie

The girls first Fish..they didn't want to touch it..Jen thought it was Hilarious!

Brooklyn's First Moment in the Mirror!

Graduating from College...Good friends become sister in laws


Baby Sis gets married!

The first time I got to hold Ashlyn in the NICU...and my Mom was right by my side!
Me helping Ryan Fish!

Serioulsy I have thousands of pictures...I could go on and on! I get chills sometimes when I watch my screen saver on my computer flash all my pictures...Life goes by so fast! Remember the little things that make you smile and laugh...I think in these days that is what is going to keep us strong and Happy! Dwelling on what we Have and not what we want and need in the moment is what I need to work on! I am so grateful for the journey and being able to make mistakes and grow from them!

Feelin' the LOVE

We had a Wonderful Valentines Weekend! Ryan spoiled the Heck out of us Girls! We all felt very Special! Ryan surprised me with a dozen Beautiful Pink roses and brought home the girls 3 Adorable Webkin stuffed animals! The girls loved all over Daddy because of their special Valentine Surprise!

We are Such Lucky Girls!
Ryan thought it was so fitting to buy Brook a Monkey..because she truly is a Monkey!
Our little Sweetie Brooklyn was so Proud of her little pink monkey Webkin! She walked with it everywhere..It was So Darling!
Grandma Payne bought the girls some darling Kiss Pops! TOO CUTE!!
Then as a ADDED Bonus in our little weekend of LOVE!! Ryan spoiled me with a night out to Dinner and a Beautiful Hotel Room!
It was so Wonderful to be alone and enjoy each others company!
(The Funny thing is when we arrived at the hotel Ryan and I enjoyed a 2 hour nap in complete silence before we went out to eat...IT was SO Wonderful..YEP..we are getting OLD)
I truly believe that escaping and being alone every once in a while is SO needed! Thanks to two wonderful grandparents that watched our children for us! I feel like such a better Mom and Wife when you get those little moments of Tranquility!
Anyways...we all had such a Wonderful Valentines weekend! Life is Amazing and I feel so blessed to have such a Wonderful little Family!

Young LOVE!!


So I was doing laundry yesterday and I found this piece of paper in Kaylie's jean pocket! I pulled it out and this is what I found! I thought is was the CUTEST thing! I called Kaylie and asked her all about it! She was so Embarrassed and told Me, Mom it was a Dumb Boy...she couldn't believe that he would say such things to her! I seriously was trying so hard to hold back the smile and laughter I wanted to let out! I told her I was so glad that she had such a sweet friend named Kasen! I think it is so Cute that she still thinks boys are Dumb....unlike her Mom at this age!

STRONGER!

Ryan has been gone for over a week now with Att@t to Atlanta! Which is such an Amazing opportunity for him to learn more about outside sales and Business administration! But being away from my husband for two weeks has Royally SUCKED!! I have realized how much I enjoy my husband being around and The Girls have really missed their Daddy! Last week Kaylie wrote a really sweet note to Ryan and wanted me to sneak it into his suitcase before he left...Here is that ADORABLE..note!
Here are some Cute pictures of Ryan and the girls playing in the snow the day before he left!

Nice Throw Kaylie!
One last snowmobile sleigh ride!


What I have realized being away from Ryan so long is how much I appreciate all he does for us when he is here and how Lucky I am to have such an AMAZING husband! I am completely Exhausted from shoveling snow,cleaning house, laundry,running errands,chasing around a 15 month old and keeping 3 girls Happy! But Hey..I have done it and I only have 3 more days left! I am actually really PROUD of myself! I can't imagine being a single mom and I have a TRUE new found respect for those that do it DAy in and DAy out! BRAVO! ANYWAYS...I can't wait to see my husband and express to him in Person how grateful I am for being marrried to such an AWESOME Guy! I Just Love him and he is truly my Best Friend!
